As I look ahead to the weekend in Fort Collins, the weather promises to be relatively mild with a mix of sun and clouds.

On Friday, May 16, we can expect mostly cloudy skies with a high around 71°F. The chance of rain is minimal at 10%, so outdoor plans should be unaffected.

Saturday, May 17, will start sunny with some high clouds, transitioning to a cloudier afternoon. Temperatures will remain steady with a high of 71°F and a low of 44°F. Rain chances are low at 5%.
